With the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), our first priority continues to be the health and safety of our team members, customers and the broader community. At this time we are open and operational and doing our best to keep our retail partners supplied.

Your favorite beverages, including sparkling water, have to be delivered in some kind of container. But it may surprise you that fully recyclable PET plastic bottles can be one of the most environmentally-friendly ways to package the refreshing sparkling drinks you love the most.
Syfo Beverages Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water bottles are produced on-site from fully recyclable, virgin PET which arrives at our Plant in a single bulk truckload shipment of 4-inch pre-forms. Because we blow our own 1- and 2-liter PET bottles on-site, we have eliminated the high carbon footprint of trucking large-sized empty bottles to our facility in multiple trips. When you factor in that communities with strong curbside recycling programs, recycle up to 70% of PET bottles, the benefits outweigh other types of containers (cans, glass, plant based plastic, boxed water). Each of these alternative containers can have major impacts on the environment based on factors such as high energy needs, high carbon footprint, high water needs, low recycling rates, and container degradation due to temperature. In addition there are potential health impacts from chemicals like BPA (Bisphenol A) or BPS (Bisphenol S) present in the linings of certain containers that can leach into the water. Be assured that our PET bottles contain none of these chemicals or other plasticizer chemicals like phthalates which are used to make some plastics softer.
When all of us support community recycling, we are all being good stewards and contributing to a better, cleaner environment. If you are looking for refreshment products that are healthy for you but are concerned about harming the environment, Syfo is an excellent choice. You can learn more about all of our products here.
You have probably heard a lot about this lately. Drinking more water continues to be a growing consumer trend with more people seeking to boost their hydration rates as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Although there is no set recommendation as to how much water an individual should drink, health experts agree that water intake is a key to good health (the average adult U.S. citizen drinks an average of 39 ounces of water a day according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Water not only promotes overall health, it can help you manage or lose weight because it adds zero calories when compared to high-calorie, sweetened drinks like soda. Additionally, drinking water can prevent dehydration — a condition that can cause unclear thinking, mood changes, body overheating, constipation and kidney stones, based on CDC information.
It’s little wonder then that bottled water overtook soft drinks as the top beverage in the United States by volume in 2017, with sales increasing 7% over sales in 2016, as reported by the Beverage Marketing Corporation. And consumers today have so many delicious and refreshing ways to get the water they need, including Syfo Original Seltzer and our line of Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters.
Our Original Seltzer and our flavored sparkling waters are a fun and easy way to get more water in your diet. All of our waters are ultra purified using reverse osmosis. Our four delicious, natural flavors include Lemon-Lime, Tangerine-Orange, Wild Cherry and Peach-Pear. And since all of our refreshing Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters are free of sugar, artificial sweeteners, sodium, preservatives or other additives, they’re also great for your overall health.
So stay hydrated the fun way. Try our Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters and Original Seltzer with some of your favorite drink recipes or visit our recipes section for some great sparkling water drink recipe ideas.

It’s a great way to start off the New Year and the new decade. And it just might be the most important New Year’s resolution you’ll ever make. Taking the 2020 Sugar Challenge by cutting back on added sugar can have a profound effect on your health and quality of life.
As this New York Times article points out, added sugar lurks in nearly 70 percent of packaged foods and is found in breads, health foods, snacks, yogurts, most breakfast foods and sauces. So not even counting the sugar that naturally occurs in items like fruit and dairy products, the average American eats 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day. That’s about double the recommended limit for men (nine teaspoons) and triple the limit for women (six teaspoons). For children, the limit should be about three teaspoons of added sugar and no more than six, depending on age and caloric needs. And when you add sugary drinks on top of that (a single glass can contain 11 teaspoons alone) and other sweet treats you can have serious health issues.
Those issues can include heart disease, obesity, diabetes, liver disease and more. That’s why this year it’s important that you take the 2020 Sugar Challenge, and the New York Times article has a few tips to help you get started:
- Cut the sugar out of breakfast (it tends to be the sweetest meal of the day)
- Cut down on sugary drinks (Syfo can help with that)
- Eat whole foods rather than packaged foods
- Try eating fruit for dessert
- Read the nutrition labels on the food you eat to look for hidden sugar.
When it comes to cutting down on sugary drinks, Syfo can help you rise to the challenge. Our delicious Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters are free of sugar, artificial sweeteners, sodium, preservatives or other additives and are refreshing and satisfying on their own. To gradually reduce your sugary drink habit, you can always mix one of our flavors or our Original Seltzer with your favorite soda. You can read more on how to cut back on sugary drinks without going cold turkey in our post here.
So start the challenge for the next seven days as the article recommends and make it a habit throughout the year. You can read more about the 2020 Sugar Challenge here.
